I think you have inherited a few unwanted characters when you pasted the text into your editor.I think I have found most of them.

Try the code below and see if it clears it

<h2><a id="blue" name="#blue">The Holy Bible</a></h2>
<P><b>The Bible is the only inspired Word of God written by Holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The Old Testament, apart from Esther, written in Hebrew. The New Testament written in Greek (Koine Greek). These versions are the only inspired Word of God. </b></P>
<p>As is obvious, the Bible we read today has been translated into English. There are many translations, all of them differ from each other, some only differ slightly and some by a great deal. We must therefore not blindly accept that every word in the English Bible is the inspired Word of God. What is a fact is that there are many translations of the Bible (see column on left of page), and all...I repeat all, translations have been done by trinitarian's. For this reason it is conceivable and true, that there is a trinity bias when reading the Bible in English. So it becomes necessary to look carefully at all passages especially the ones that the trinitarians rely on to prove the trinity. A good case in point is in the King James Version where words have been added to the original Greek to advance the trinitarian view.....<strong>1 John 5:</strong><em>7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."</em> <strong>The words</strong>, <em>"the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."</em>, <strong>do not appear in the original Greek</strong>.</p>
<p>As a true Disciple of Christ, alarm bells should be ringing. Why? you may ask!! because what does God say concerning the adding of words to his Word? see <strong>Deuteronomy 4:</strong><em>2 "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."</em> and <strong>Revelation 22:</strong><em>18 "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;"</em></p>
<p>The Truth is that the trinity, not mentioned at all in the Bible, is just a figment of imagination, 'invented' by the Emperor of Rome 'Constantine' and the Catholic Church in the 4th century AD, in order to 'marry' the pagan belief's with the Christian doctrine thereby enhancing the political status of both the Catholic church and the Emperor of Rome. Some would eagerly point out that Constantine was 'Baptised' a Christian just before his death so he must have believed in the trinity. Wrong, before his death Constantine was Baptised by the followers of Arius who opposed the trinity and advocated the suborination of Jesus to God. </p>
<p>On one hand they (the Catholic Church) could tell the Pagans, who were used to having three or more god's, that Christianity has three god's and on the other hand, to the Christian's and Jews, that these three god's are one. <b>Constantine, the pagan Emperor of Rome,</b> saw the political gain to be made by aligning himself with the 'Christian' Church, <b>summoned and presided over</b> what has become known as the First Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church. The 'Nicene Creed' was formulated at this Council and became the instrument by which many atrocities were committed under the name of 'Christianity'. Many centuries of persecution followed in which millions of people were murdered under this banner. In the Nicene Creed the <strong>satanic verse</strong> the church relied on to justify their 'bloody' killings reads as follows <em>"[But those who say: 'There was a time when he was not;' and 'He was not before he was made;' and 'He was made out of nothing,' or 'He is of another substance' or 'essence,' or 'The Son of God is created,' or 'changeable,' or 'alterable' - they are condemned by the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.]"</em> <b>NB. (He, of course, is referring to Jesus).</b></p>
<p>What right does the Catholic Church, or any religious organisation for that matter, have to condemn anyone. This right belongs to God alone and He has appointed Jesus to excersize this right. <strong>John 17:</strong>. <em>1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2. <b>As You have given Him authority over all flesh</b>, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.</em></p>
<p>It is totally unacceptable that any religious organisation can claim to act on behalf of God. God is quite able to act for Himself. The people who claim to act on behalf of God should take note of the following extracts from Daniel: <strong>Daniel 4:</strong><em>17 This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, <b>In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,</b> Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.</em> <strong>Daniel 4:</strong><em>25 They shall drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, <b>till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.></b</em>
<strong>Daniel 4:</strong><em>32 And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, <b>until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,</b> and gives it to whomever He chooses."</em><strong>Daniel 5:</strong><em>21 Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, <b>till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men,</b> and appoints over it whomever He chooses.</em></p>
<p>Indiscriminate killings carried out in the 'name of God' are a crime against God and humanity. God is quite able to put to death whomsoever He wants and keep alive whomsoever He wants. Suicide killings get you nothing but an early grave with no reward whatsoever. <strong>Ecclesiastes 9:</strong><em>10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.</em> <b>NB. Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon reputed to be the wisest man that ever lived (I.E. apart from Jesus).</b></p>
<p><a href="#top">Top of Page</a></p>
<h2><a id="green" name="#green">How can God be Jesus or Jesus God?</a></h2>
<p>In discussions I've had with trinitarians, I have found that no matter how much proof you can 'put on the table' trinitarians will either ignore what you've said or offer some reason that just doesn't make sense. For example when Jesus prays to GOD in the Garden of Gethsemane they will say "God, when He was a man had the weaknesses of a man, so He prayed to himself to give himself strength etc" this is quite ridiculous and is something that I could never believe. Also, when you draw their attention the fact that Jesus is referred to as the Son of GOD 49 times and Son of Man 89 times in the New Testament for this they have no explanation. Further, that Jesus being seated at the "Right Hand of God" is mentioned no fewer than eleven times. What further proof do we need that Jesus is not God? Yet they have no explanation over the fact that the term 'god the son' is not mentioned once,</p>
<p>What we've got to remember is that the trinitarians have had 17 centuries in which to indoctrinate (deceive) the masses, and so many very nice genuinely religious humble people have succumbed to this delusion. <strong>2 Thessalonians 2:11 </strong><em>"And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie"</em> As mentioned earlier, every English bible translation has been translated by a trinitarian, this is due to religious studies offered by the Universities. Syllabuses are designed around trinitarian ideologies which future pastors/priests study and so the delusion passed on from generation to generation and so on to the masses. In all their studies students are only allowed to quote certain passages from scripture and then only if some 'recognised' author has written on the subject matter. Students will not get any marks for their own interpretations. This all increases the power of the clergy, and has led to the great apostasy that exists today. So today we have the Pope controlling a vast political and financial organisation (in fact the richest organisation in the world), the great harlot of Revelations that has deceived the world. Some later translations of the bible have had to remove blatant additions to the Word of GOD such as <strong>1 John 5v7</strong>, but other bad translations still remain, such as the first few sentences of <strong>John 1 v 1-3 & 14 </strong> Many movements over the years have had the TRUTH but have had the TRUTH eroded by this University system. A case in point is the Baptist church, their statement of faith given to King James in the 15th century is word for word the same as the Christadelphian Statement of Faith today. But you ask any modern day Baptist and he would not agree (probably doesn't know) the original statement of faith of their church. WHY the change? Because when they got big enough as an organisation, they sent their pastors to study at Universities and left off studying the scriptures for themselves. So the saga goes on and the trinitarian view of Jesus prevails and that is why the World will not recognise Jesus when He returns to set up God's Kingdom on earth. Revelations is quite clear on the matter as the 'harlot' (false religion) makes war against the Lamb (Jesus). <strong>Revelation 17:14</strong> <em>"These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful."</em></p>
<p>A simple explanation of the first few versus of John is as follows: <strong>John chapter 1</strong><em>.1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made...............14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only <b>begotten</b> of the Father, full of grace and truth.</em> <b>Versus 1-3</b> In the beginning was the Plan (Logos or Word) of God. It stands to reason that without the plan there would be no point in creation as there would be no hope. <b>NB. It was the Plan that was in the beginning with God, not Jesus!!</b> and <b>Verse 14</b> the birth and life of Jesus was the fulfilment of that plan. <strong>Isaiah 46:10</strong><em> Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, 'My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,'</em> Well what does begotten mean? It simply means - (of offspring) generated by procreation; "naturally begotten child" In the case of Jesus His Father was God procreated through the Holy Spirit but other than that He was born naturally of flesh. <strong>John 2 v 7</strong> <em>For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.</em> <strong>Hebrews 4:15</strong> <em>For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.</em> How can God be tempted in all points as we are? What could the Almighty God achieve by 'minimising' Himself into the body of a man and then not sinning? How can God be His own Father? How can God die? Then be dead for 3 days? If God was dead for 3 days, who raised Him from the dead? And, who looked after the universe while He was dead? How can God be a mediator between man and Himself? How can God be seated at the right hand of Himself? etc. etc. I could go on, many more questions than answers. For my part I would rather become an atheist than believe that Jesus is God. But I give thanks to the great God of Israel for His Son Jesus who, with the same weakness of the flesh as myself, never sinned. Therefore He was not deserving of death, so God raised Him from the dead to sit on His (God's) right hand until that day when God sends Him back to this world to rule in righteousness, sitting on the throne of His father David, in Jerusalem. <strong>Luke 1:32</strong> <em>He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; <b>and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.</b> </em></p>
<p><a href="#top">Top of Page</a></p>
<h2><a id="orange" name="#orange">Seventeen Centuries of Deception</a></h2>
<p>After seventeen centuries of deception, how do we find the TRUTH? Or, what is the TRUTH? It is not without cause that God, in His Wisdom, caused to be written in His Word - <strong>Proverbs 25:</strong><em>2 "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. </em> also, <strong>Matthew 6:</strong><em>33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."</em> and, <strong>Matthew 7:</strong><em>14 "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."</em></p>
<p>Well first of all the scriptures give us a clue, and what is this clue? <strong>Matthew 7:</strong><em>20 "Therefore by their fruits you will know them."</em> What are the 'fruits' of the 'Christian church'? History tells us that the 'Christian church' is guilty of thousands of murders, killings, all manner of death and destruction, political intrigue and power, child abuse, division, doctrinal disputes, wars between Catholics and Protestants and the worshipping and praying to statues, crosses, crucifixes and 'saints' in fact everything that would be abhorrent to the Father and His Son, Jesus. <strong>Revelation 19</strong> <em>:9 Then he said to me, "Write: Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!" And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God." 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. <b>Worship God!</b> For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."</em></p>
<p><strong>James 3:</strong><em>17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.</em> <strong>Can anyone honestly say that the 'Christian Churches' record over the last 17 centuries complies with this scripture?</strong></p>
<p><strong>John 18:</strong><em>37 Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice."</em><strong>John 18:</strong><em>38 Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him at all."</em></p>
<p>Pilate said to Jesus "What is Truth?". Virtually all the religions in the World have one thing in common and that is that they believe that they have an immortal soul. When you 'think' that you have an immortal soul then it doesn't make any difference what you believe. Excepting that 'good souls' go to Heaven and 'bad souls' go to hell. This deception is the difference between 'Truth and Error'. The Truth is that we do not have an immortal soul, when you die that is the end, your thoughts cease and you are no more. <strong>Psalm 49:</strong><em>20 "A man who is in honour, yet does not understand, is like the beasts that perish.</em> If it wasn't for Jesus' sacrifice we would have no hope. Our only hope is to believe in God and the things concerning Jesus and the Kingdom of God and to be Baptised into His (Jesus') name. Then we have the 'Hope' of internal life in God's Kingdom when Jesus returns. <strong>1 Corinthians 15:23</strong><em> "But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming." </em></p>
<p>From the beginning of time there have been those that pleased God (Sons of God) and those that didn't please God (daughters of Men). The former are those knowing the Truth and the latter being those that know not the Truth. <strong>Genesis 6:</strong><em>2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.</em><strong>Exodus 34:</strong><em>16 "and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods."</em> Invariably in the scriptures the reference to a woman, in this case 'daughters' the inference is to a religion and the addition of the daughters of men means false religion. The time when you leave the security of the Truth (i.e. knowing you are mortal) and eyeing or believing that you have an immortal soul you're entering into the realm of falsehood and thereby alienating yourself from God. Our only hope is in the resurection when Jesus returns <strong>John 6:</strong> <em>44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; <b>and I will raise him up at the last day.</b></em></p>
<p><a href="#top">Top of Page</a></p>
<h2><a id="red" name="#red">Jesus the Lamb of God</a></h2>
<p><strong>John 1:</strong><em>29 "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"</em></p>
<p>Jesus had to give of His own body and blood to first make redemption for Himself. This was necessary to fulfil the Law because He was the first born 'Lamb' without blemish (He never sinned). After His resurrection He became our High Priest and mediator sitting on the Right Hand of God making intercession on our behalf.</p> <p>Please note below, two versions of the Bible have included words not in the original Greek. I have highlighted these superfluous words (the translator being influenced by the trinity).</p>
<p><strong>Hebrews 9:</strong></p>
<p>King James Version (KJV) 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption <strong><b>for us</b></strong>.</p>
<p>New King James Version (NKJV)
12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.</p>
<p>New International Version (NIV)
12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.</p>
<p>Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) 12 He entered the holy of holies once for all, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.</p>
<p>New Living Translation (NLT)
12 With his own blood, not the blood of goats and calves, he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured <strong><b>our</b></strong> redemption forever.</p>
<p>The Truth is that Jesus, the Lamb of God, obtained redemption for Himself by His sacrifice. Because of His absolute obedience to His Fathers Will and His sinless life, Jesus was raised from the dead and now sits at the 'Right hand of God' as High Priest and Mediator. God will send Jesus back to the earth to rule as King from Jerusalem. <strong>Hebrews 7:</strong> <em>20 And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath 21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him:" The LORD has sworn And will not relent, You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek"), 22 by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant. 23 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. 24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. 26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us,who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; 27 who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.</em></p>

<h2><a id="black" name="#black">The Name of Jesus</a></h2>
<p>Jesus has been given many names and I think we should analyse them to see which names fit. Immanuel is one of the names given to Jesus. So lets look carefully at what the scripture says - <strong>Matthew 1:23</strong>
<em>"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and <b>they</b> shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."</em> Trinitarians seize on this name to prove that Jesus is God, but look what the scripture says <em>"<b>they</b> shall call His name Immanuel"</em>. '<b>They</b>' is not God, and true, Jesus is given the name Immanuel. However, it is not the name given to Him by God and it is what God determines is what counts and not '<b>they</b>'. But what name did <b>God</b> give Him? <strong>Luke 2:21</strong>
<em>And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, <b>His name was called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb</b>.</em></p>
<p>The same reasoning can be applied to the following scripture: <strong>Isaiah 9:6</strong><em>For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.</em> Here again, there is no denying that Jesus is called 'mighty God' and 'Everlasting Father' but who is it that calls Jesus 'mighty God' and Everlasting Father' (trinitarians do and this fulfils this scripture), here again it is not God that calls Jesus by these titles/names. Well how does God refer to Jesus?<strong>Luke 1</strong>:31 <em>And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.</em> God called His name Jesus and God says 'He (Jesus) will be Great' and He (Jesus) will be called 'the Son of the Highest'.<strong>Philippians 2:10</strong><em>that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow.</em> It is true that Jesus is Great, it is true that Jesus is the Son of the Highest, it is true that Jesus is the Son of God, it is true that Jesus is the King of the Jews,<strong>Matthew 27:11</strong>
[ Jesus Faces Pilate ] <em>Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."</em>. <strong>It is not true that Jesus is God</strong>.</p>
<h3>Further examples of how God refers to jesus</h3>
<p><strong>Matthew 3:17</strong>
<em>And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."</em></p>
<p><strong>Matthew 17:5</strong>
<em>While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"</em></p)
<p><strong>Mark 1:11</strong>
<em>Then a voice came from heaven, "You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."</em></p>
<p><strong>Luke 3:22</strong>
<em>And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased."</em></p>
<p><strong>2 Peter 1:17</strong>
<em>For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."</em></p)

<h2><a id="white" name="#white">The Hope of Israel</a></h2>
<p> The Apostle Paul in his defense before King Agrippa said these words <strong>Acts 26:</strong><em>6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers. 7 To this promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. For this hope's sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.</em> What is this <b>hope and promise</b> that Paul was referring to? Well to put it simply The Hope of Israel are the promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob this is the true Gospel <strong>Galatians 3:8<em></strong> And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, <b>preached the gospel to Abraham</b> beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed."</em></p>
<p>So we can see from the above that the gospel was preached by God to Abraham. Well lets take a closer look at what God said to Abraham. <strong>Genesis 13:</strong><em>14 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are-northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15 for <b>all the land which you see I give to you</b> and your descendants forever." </em>God said "I give it to You" this is a personal promise by God to Abraham. In Hebrews 6 the writer confirmed the promise to Abraham, <strong>Hebrews6:</strong><em>13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you." 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.</em> It is quite clear from this that God has made a promise to Abraham. Well how is God going to keep this promise? Let us go back to the Apostle Paul who believes in the resurrection of the dead <strong>Acts 24:15</strong><em> I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.</em> Therefore the only way in which God's promise to Abraham can be fulfilled is by raising Abraham from the dead and giving him the land.</p.
<p>But wait a minute that is not all, it get more exciting because God made similar promises to Isaac and Jacob. First of all the promise to Isaac. <strong>Genesis26:</strong><em>2 Then the LORD appeared to him and said: "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. 3 Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; <b>for to you</b> and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. 4 And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; <b>and in your seed</b> all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; 5 because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws."</em>. Here we have another personal promise this time to Isaac, the same applies as to Abraham, the only way in which God can keep this promise to Isaac is by raising him from the dead in the resurrection. </p>
<p>And also to Jacob, God confirmed the promises to Abraham and Isaac, <strong>Genesis 28:</strong><em>13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: "I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; <b>the land on which you lie I will give to you</b> and your descendants.......".</em></p>
<p>Also besides the promises of the land, God also made promises of the 'seed' that would come through them, <strong>Galations 3:</strong><em>16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed,"who is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.</em> </p>
<p>God also made promises to Jesus, <strong>Psalm 110:</strong><em>4 The LORD has sworn And will not relent, "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek."</em> and in another place God says <strong>Luke 1:</strong><em>32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.</em> So here we have Jesus a King and Priest after the order of Melchizedek (who was High Priest and King of Salem) being given the Throne of His father David (through the line of Mary)</p>
<p>God also made promises to 'us' <strong>Galatians 3:</strong><em>26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.</em> So in order to be an heir (Sons of God) we need to have faith in God and believe in the things concerning Jesus and the Kingdom of God and be Baptized into the saving name of Jesus.</p>
<p>So there you are, we have the Gospel - 'The Hope of Israel' - that God would raise the dead (Abraham, Isaac Jacob and their decendants by faith) to inherit the land. The seed, being Jesus, the promised Messiah as King and High Priest of Israel, ruling the world in Righteousness from Jerusalem.</p>
